It's cramp and there's barely enough air to breathe. But I'm afraid they'll reject me and throw me out. I don't wanna live on the streets. I'll never be able to compete with the professional hobos.It's a tough world out there and I have 0 street cred. And what if the force me to see a priest and try to "fix" me. What if they take me to some Christian camp where I'm bombarded constantly on how I'm living a sick twisted lifestyle and that I'm gonna burn in hell? What if they try to brainwash me??? Has anyone here had to tell their (very religous) parents that they became atheist/converted to another religion? How did you tell your parents? How did they take it? All advice/stories are welcomed. |
I am just curious if you had this much trauma when you gave up Santa. Key is to get on with your life and think on other things. Do not go out of your way to be disrespectful, but be honest you just don't believe when it comes up.
With myself my parents accepted when I left the Catholic Church.
